Hmm... never happened to me while I were testing it.

I'll retest it tomorrow again. Which systemd are you using?

Please take this one:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/fcrozat:/systemd/openSUSE_12.1/

there were a dependency problem in the older packages causing strange
things (start/restart triggered start+stop).

OK.

Anybody in Cc -- feel free to propose a better description:

## Type:                list(yes,no,"")
## Default:             ""
## Config:              ""
## ServiceRestart:      syslog
#
# Specify whether the syslog configuration requires network.
# Set to "yes" to delay the syslog daemon start until network
# is already started, set to "no" to start it earlier.
#
# The behavior of the default setting "" depends on the daemon
# specified in the SYSLOG_DAEMON variable and on the current
# implementation of the init / systemd scripts. It may cause
# a try to detect whether network is required for the config
# or choose one of the above modi.
#
SYSLOG_REQUIRES_NETWORK=""

What currently happens is:

    syslogd / syslog-ng: try to detect
    rsyslogd           : just start earlier


Well, it we can _keep_ the detection, but instead of the "usually
not working one" checking rsyslog.conf, we check like this:

  while read line ; do
    case $line in
    \#*|"") continue ;;                         # comment or empty
    *) echo network=network.target ; break ;;   # there is something
    esac
  done < /etc/rsyslog.d/remote.conf
  #      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

and have an usually working variant [an no alternation in text].

Hmm... I think, this is the way to go. Opinions?
